I wonder if Kirstie was really 3rd, but made her 2nd to make it exciting? j/k...kind of.

No, Catty, she had a huge fan base.Chelsea was a beautiful, talented girl but she didn't have the fan base Kirstie and Hines did.

I don't know about Kristie but Hines has a huge fan base just by being a Steeler. There were people who did not watch the show voting just because he is a Steeler. Not fair but from what I gather part of the competition.

I agree Moe, I hope he doesn't decide to take some time off, I would SOOOO miss him next season!

He was scared waiting for the vote, Amy,...then he turned white when the winner was announced.The very last hug I am sure Kirstie whispered in his ear "it is ok"...I truly think she wanted to win it more for Maks rather than for herself.

I agree again Moe...I just wanna go and give him a hug myself Poor Maks.

I haven't actually watched the final here on the west coast yet but once again, based on the results you have reported, the prize goes to someone that is not necessarily the best but has that wide fan base.....leaves me feeling as though there is really no chance for the contestants that pull at the heart-strings. Hines was like a styrofoam non-emotive robotic blob of protoplasm that moved stiltingling across the dance floor holding onto a mannequin-like dance partner. I would rather watch paint dry. I would almost have preferred that Mark "the mean and most unappealing people-eater" and Chelsea (unfortunate person to be paired with Mark the meany) win the whole dang thing...but not quite. I just hope that something good happens to both Maks and Kirstie to prove to them it was worth all the effort....maybe their own TV sitcom? Stranger things have happened. Question to self: why do I care?

I thought it was a fabulous show and was happy that Kym won. I had a feeling Chelsie was going to be third...not a big fan base. Hines is a likable person and they put a lot of hard work into their dances. The others did also. I put aside my Steeler hate for the DWTS season. It was nice to see Romeo/Chelsie and as usual they couldn't keep their hands off each other! I thought Brooke looked stunning. Her dress was absolutely gorgeous...beautiful color on her. I loved her hair tonight, also. It was very, very hard not to peek in this thread to see who won! It will be hard for them to top this season...highest ratings ever!

ETA: The Black-Eyed Peas danced like Chelsie/Mark did last night in their freestyle!

Yes, it was disappointing for me. Josh Groban was the highlight of the night for me.

Tonight was so boring and I have to be honest I wanted Maks to win so bad. He never has and he and Kirstie were the highlight for me.

I knew week 1 after Hines danced ok he would win. He had the votes to do so.

I wish that I remembered The Voice was on because I would not have wasted two hours of my time to see who was obviously going to win.

They lost me when they had that 15 point winner take all cha cha this season. What a joke.

The only reason I will continue to watch this show next season is if the celebs interest me. Otherwise, I am going to pass.

I know! The winner takes all was a joke. I think they didn't want an uproar and wanted to make sure Chelsea was in the final because of what happened last year. I didn't watch last year just read about it. Not sure if it is true but there is rumor Maks is leaving. If he goes I want all fresh pros. I think there is bias good and bad toward the pros because they have been on so long. Or because they came from SYTYCD. I was rooting for Maks as much as I was Kirstie. Sorry, i'm delirious. Have to go to bed.

I'm happy I like the pro who won. Sometimes by the end of the season I want to shake 'em.
